"Pretty cool, yes."

It is pretty cool. Saying that doesn't give too good an impression, though. Now, what's wrong with the portal today, I'm actually seeing some good submissions. the story was shortish but good. I'd suggest adding a random pumpkin somewhere to make it more halloween-ish, but it is good as it is. The font you use is really cool, only a bit hard to read sometimes, what is it? I disagree with the previous reviewer, the sound is really awesome, it fits perfectly. Graphics were good, but the judge whatever was just not. The style is okay, next time just don't use madness. Anyway I really liked the fast transitions and the "I'm not crazy" texts. That's sort of humor, but gave 0 for humor, because it wasn't that kind of humor.

Overall great, 4/5, 9/10.

Score: 10

"Great."

submission: The Queasy Chronicles

date: October 22, 2006

Great work, I'm not absolutely sure is it a 9 or ten, but ten this time. It's nice to see something really worth protecting in the Portal for a while. You have a good story, I think I might have missed something because it, especially the voices were too fast, subtitles would have been nice, but not essential. Story was really nice, not maybe a great mystery, a bit too fast-paced, but I'd like to see more of this.
Voices were good, maybe there should have been a distinction (is that the word) between Queasy's actual speech and thoughts, would have made it clearer.
The style is awesome. Just great. The graphics were good, some places could have been smoother. The lip syncing seemed to be a bit off at times, but that's no big problem.
Overall great work, I definitely want to see more. 5/5

"Very good."

submission: Take A Bow

date: September 22, 2006

I never knew I liked Muse this much. Good taste in music is a big plus. Oh, maybe I shouldn't be prejudiced, but anyway. that's full marks on sound. I would have liked a play button in the beginning, when I'm waiting for something any bigger to load I usually do something else as well, so it isn't that nice if it just starts playing by itself. But that's just a minor detail anyway, and a replay button is good. A good detail was that the song's name showed there if not all the time at least for enough.

The beginning was a little boring, I didn't understand it the first time I watched, but now I do. The plot is good enough, I'm totally crap in listening words out of songs (if they're not in Finnish), but what I heard seemed to fit too. I can't be bothered to search the lyrics, sorry. Timing seemed perfect, great. My computer is not that new or fast but it still ran good with high quality, I didn't even notice the warning before I'd watched the movie.

Graphics were some of a problem to rate: the town is just awesome whatever you did it with, looked really realistic with perspective and all. Backgrounds were good too, but the people were not. Style was alright, I didn't much like it, but anyway. And the animation was really smooth, all those running people looked natural. I liked the missile too, the flames especially. And the things in the beginning were good. I ended up with a 7 for both style and graphics, that's my "ok grade".

Overall you've got a great song (a question of opinion), a working plot, ok graphics, great animation and there. The whatever "remember our soldiers" was really good. I can't give 10/10 for the graphics, but this was still really good. Five out of five, be happy.
